What books are on everyone's wish list? How about this new book "A Higher Call: 2 Enemies, 1 Destiny"?

Squadron Models had a 40% off sale on their In Action books. Some were just a couple of dollars each. I told my wife to load up on them. :)

Have a look at our website for the "Vintage Flyers" series if you are into warbird and vintage aircraft books. www.prewarpublications.com

I have several aviation and space-related books on my amazon wish list. It's really a good way to get what you'd like from someone looking to give a gift with no clue what to get. And if you have books and items of varying values, they have a better array to match the budget (and less change of getitng something you have no interest in). Been doing that for years now and have gotten a lot of neat stuff that way.

Santa stopped by early and dropped off "Bombs Away" by John Bruning. Also found "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand and have yet to open "Fighter Pilot" by Robin Olds. Hoping for some nasty weather to keep me inside and get some quality reading done :roll:

Highly recommended...ask Scott to autograph it.
Bonus points for spooting the photos I contributed to the new edition of B-17 fire bombers taken in 1979-80. :)
I can't tell you how thrilled I was to contribute to the book...

I'ver asked for the book on the Bell HSL helicopter....I love books on obscure types.
